Hey Candace,
First off, I want to say I love you, and I truly value our friendship. We’ve accomplished a lot together, helping shift the mindset of many black Americans away from the Democrat Party and contributing to President Donald Trump’s election victories. I’m proud of what we’ve built. Now, I believe we’re entering a new phase, one that’s equally important: promoting biblical literacy within our community.
You know I’m a Christian conservative, and I’ve grown up attending church, Sunday school, and studying Scripture. You, on the other hand, are a sharp thinker, a fierce debater, and someone who’s never really been immersed in the Bible’s teachings. That’s okay — your intelligence and ability to engage in complex conversations are undeniable. But I believe that understanding biblical prophecy and the historical context of Israel is crucial, especially if we’re going to speak about these issues with clarity and truth.
I’ve noticed your recent public opinions about the Jewish government. And honestly, I get where you’re coming from given the frustration with the influence some groups seem to wield. But I really believe some of these issues come from a lack of understanding about the Bible, about Jewish history, and about the deeper significance of Israel in prophecy.
See, a lot of the accusations and stereotypes being thrown around are rooted in misunderstandings. When you haven’t studied the Scriptures deeply or taken the time to understand the historical background, it’s easy to jump to conclusions or see things through a biased lens. The Bible, especially the New Testament, references Jewish leaders and their role in historical events. But if you read those passages without understanding the context or take them out of their historical setting, it can appear as if all Jews are to blame or that they’re inherently manipulative. That’s not just unfair, it’s dangerous.
The Jewish people and their faith have a long, profound history that predates modern governments and even Christianity itself. Christianity grew out of Judaism. When we study the Bible, we see that Jesus and His disciples were Jewish, and their traditions form the foundation of our faith. So, when you criticize the Jewish government or community without understanding this, you’re missing the bigger picture.
I’m not saying there aren’t real issues worth discussing. There are. But I’m telling you, studying the Bible with intention — really understanding its teachings — can give you the clarity and context you need. It’ll help you see that not every Jewish person or group is responsible for the political moves or global influence that some folks complain about. It’s about understanding history, faith, and culture beyond stereotypes.
You have to ask yourself: Why do so many misunderstandings and stereotypes persist? It’s because many don’t take the time to truly learn the Bible or understand the roots of the long-standing conflicts in the Middle East. Once you gain that knowledge, you start seeing things differently. You realize that love, respect, and truth matter more than jumping to conclusions or siding with narratives that promote division, especially when some of those narratives are fueled by foreign powers that don’t have America’s best interests at heart.
So, Candace, I sincerely encourage you to pick up the Bible, study it with an open mind, and seek the full story. It’ll give you the insight you need to speak on these issues with genuine understanding. And trust me, that’s how real change happens — when you know the facts, not just what you hear on the surface. Love and truth are what lead us forward, and I’m here to walk with you in that.
